<i>Quills</i> is not a bedtime story...

I went over to Tucker last night to watch a movie with my friends Joe, Adam, and Jenny. I dragged my roomie along. Somehow, at about 11:00 at night, we decided Quills would be a great movie to watch. Between me and Joe, we have the keys to the film library and to the theatre, so we watched it on the big screen... boy, do I regret it.

I often like movies/books/music that make your mind sort of twist. But this went above and beyond into "far more disturbing than I care to watch at night". I was stressed out about a number of things, namely that if anyone caught us and realized that I used my keys to get the movie and open up the theatre, that I could easily lose my job (I work in the film viewing lab). Also that it's against copyright laws to show the movie on a screen that big. So I was stressed to start with, and the movie just freaked me out even more.

I tried to say a rosary to help me calm down (I'm not Catholic, but I find it very relaxing)... those of you who have seen the movie can understand why this did not work out very well. I feel kind of stupid that I got so worked up about a movie... but really, I think the movie's just twisted. Very interesting, probably a very good movie, but fucking twisted.

I am now going to try to go back to sleep without visions of Geoffrey Rush and Kate Winslet in my head... arg...
